Featured Monologue – Let The World See Us
SIMON: I’ve become stone, ice. Life has been tough on me, it has shaped me into being something I am not…I used to be this sensitive child, a shy boy, vulnerable, weak even…obsessed with my mother’s love, protected.
When I stepped foot into this world, I was shown things that were nothing like the bubble I grew up in…I became angry at my mother for loving me so damn much, she kept all harmful things away from me.
As a man, I was either going to sink or swim…I had no father, my father was always a piece of sh’t to me…an anger that still propels me forward…but, through my mother’s love, I found inside myself some kind of untapped knowledge, she gave me the foundation to be what I’ve become…a brute, when necessary.
I am disappointed in myself, because I may have gone too far, I may have bitten on more than my heart desires, not because I can’t stomach the fight, but more because I don’t think it is necessary and I’m struggling to pull myself back and find the younger man I once was.
